But as one of the most popular brands, DiGiornio’s Four Cheese Pizza also often ranks as one of the least healthy. It has 290 calories per serving, which is one-sixth of a pizza, or 1,740 calories for the whole pie (which, let’s be honest, is closer to what your average person eats when they’re in the mood for frozen pizza), and 10 grams of fat, 38 grams of carbohydrates and 670 milligrams of sodium per serving.

To help us find some healthier options, we asked three nutritionists to share what they consider the top five healthiest frozen pizzas.

Samantha Stewart, RDN

“I absolutely love pizza, and, yes, even as a dietitian, I’m not afraid to say that,” said Samantha Stewart, a Little Rock, Arkansas-based registered dietitian nutritionist, who works with heart patients, often taking them on grocery store trips to educate them on reading nutrition labels.

She said she looks for frozen pizza low in total fat, saturated/trans fat, sodium and sugar, and high in protein, polyunsaturated/monounsaturated fat and fiber.

Stewart worries less about carbohydrates when evaluating frozen pizza because “we’re talking pizza here, and I’m pro-balanced eating.” But serving size is important with frozen pizza, since it can vary drastically.

Here are Stewart’s top choices:

Serving size: 1/2 pie (165 g)

Calories per serving: 310

Fat: 14 g

Saturated fat: 4 g

Carbohydrates: 37 g

Sodium: 500 mg

“I am a huge proponent of a plant-based diet,” she said, and this one lists cauliflower as its first ingredient.

The crust also contains brown rice flour, a gluten-free whole grain, and the pizza has 3 grams of fiber per serving, 13 percent of the daily fiber goal, which Stewart says is important since most Americans don’t get enough fiber. It’s also low in saturated fat and sodium, and rich in poly and monounsaturated fats.

Serving size: 1/3 pizza (123 g)

Calories per serving: 260

Fat: 11 g

Saturated fat: 4 g

Carbohydrates: 30 g

Sodium: 540 mg

Each serving is low in total fat, saturated fat and sodium, she said. Plus, Stewart said, “All ingredients are organic, all the way down to the garlic, basil and oil.”

Serving size: 1/3 pizza

Calories per serving: 270

Fat: 10 g

Saturated fat: 4.5 g

Carbohydrates: 33 g

Sodium: 540 mg

Even though this pizza is a little higher in total fat, saturated fat and sodium than her other choices, the portion size is a little larger and it’s “still a much healthier choice in comparison to some of the other options out there,” Stewart said.

Serving size: 1/3 pizza

Calories per serving: 260

Fat: 13 g

Saturated fat: 0 g

Carbohydrates: 0 g

Sodium: 460 mg

“When you think DiGiorno, this may not be the pizza that comes to mind, but it’s still a great choice,” Stewart said.

While the pizza is small in size, its sodium is on the low end, she said, but total fat, saturated fat and fiber are higher than other selections.

Serving size: 1/3 pizza (141 g)

Calories per serving: 350

Fat: 16 g

Saturated fat: 9 g

Carbohydrates: 38 g

Sodium: 830 mg

“Some might say I can’t be a dietitian anymore for recommending this, but it’s honestly the best choice if Red Baron happens to be the only pizza staring back at you in the frozen pizza section,” Stewart said.

The larger serving size of one-third of a pizza is a plus, but total fat, saturated fat, sodium and sugar are on the higher end. Still, it is “significantly better than other frozen pizza options,” she said.

Malina Malkani's top three picks: Lean Cuisine, Caulipower and Amy's.

“Frozen pizza can be a convenient and healthy meal option for days when you don’t have time to cook, especially when it’s topped with veggies, which boost the nutrient content of the meal, rather than processed meats, which tend to be higher in sodium and saturated fat,” said Malina Malkani, a New York City-based registered dietitian nutritionist, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and creator of the Wholitarian Lifestyle.

“That being said, all foods can fit into a healthy lifestyle depending on how often and how much they are eaten,” and moderation is the key, she said.

This is a good option for anyone working on portion control, she said, since the whole pizza equals one serving, and it contains a good balance of protein, fat and fiber, which will keep someone feeling satisfied longer.

2. Caulipower Veggie Pizza

Like Stewart, Malkani also selected the Caulipower veggie pizza for its gluten-free, cauliflower-based crust. The additional vegetable toppings means it “offers more vitamins and minerals than the majority of other frozen pizzas,” including vitamin C, vitamin A and iron, Malkani said.

Serving size: 1/3 pizza

Calories per serving: 190

Fat: 8 g

Saturated fat: 4 g

Carbohydrates: 21 g

Sodium: 400 mg

Malkani said this gluten-free option is lower in calories and sodium than many other frozen pizzas.

Kristi Coughlin, RDN

Kristi Coughlin, a Central Oregon-based registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of Effectual Nutrition, an online private nutrition practice, loves pizza so much she eats it weekly, which she said people find surprising considering her line of work.

“When selecting the healthiest frozen pizza, it was essential to consider taste alongside the nutritional facts,” she said. “Of course, the taste was the top deciding factor, followed by total calories, fiber and protein.”

Here are Coughlin’s rankings, in no particular order:

Serving size: 1/3 pizza

Calories per serving: 300

Fat: 15 g

Saturated fat: 7 g

Carbohydrates: 30 g

Sodium: 470 mg

Coughlin ranked this pizza as the best traditional option: “The taste was delicious; even my youngest daughter enjoyed it, and that is saying a lot.”

She praised its short list of ingredients, no artificial flavors, 2 grams of fiber and 12 grams of protein.

Serving size: 1/3 pizza (113 g)

Calories per serving: 330

Fat: 17 g

Saturated fat: 5 g

Carbohydrates: 32 g

Sodium: 550 mg

Coughlin said this pizza, with a simple cheese and tomato topping, is a “blank slate” and suggests adding more toppings. “Next time, I will be adding bell peppers and onions for added flavor and fiber,” she said.

Serving size: 1/4 pizza (126 g)

Calories per serving: 230

Fat: 8 g

Saturated fat: 5 g

Carbohydrates: 27 g

Sodium: 570 mg

The toppings of zucchini, onions, and red, yellow and green peppers were big flavor enhancements, Coughlin said, explaining that this frozen pizza is a solid grain-free option for those wanting to limit flour intake or with a gluten intolerance.

Also, a quarter of the pizza has 2 grams of fiber and 12 grams of protein.

Serving size: 1/3 pizza (145 g)

Calories per serving: 200

Fat: 7 g

Saturated fat: 1.5 g

Carbohydrates: 38 g

Sodium: 300 mg

This vegan option includes a crust made from cornmeal, carrots and chia, which gives it a different taste than traditional pizza, Coughlin said. But, the abundant veggie toppings means one-third of the pizza has 5 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein.

Serving size: 1/2 pizza (121 g)

Calories per serving: 240

Fat: 14 g

Saturated fat: 8 g

Carbohydrates: 4 g

Sodium: 660 mg

Coughlin said this pizza has a crust made from chicken and Parmesan cheese and is a good low-carb, high-protein option. The “different take on crust” gives it 4 grams of carbs and 25 grams of protein, but zero grams of fiber, she said.

The bottom line with choosing any healthy frozen pizza is that it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach, Coughlin said.

“With the many different types of dietary preferences out there, it is essential to select a frozen pizza that best suits your personal preference,” she said. “Pick the pizza that tastes best to you and meets your individual calorie, fiber and protein needs.”
